airy, so that if the United State Senate
proceeded on those days in spite of the
disorganization of the Senate, the require

1t is said that when Gen. Sewell passed

MIR. Pearson's bill arpropr.ating $75,-
900 for the New Soldiers Home, has given
| the managers of that scheme consump-
ton. They actually say that SIS, 900 is
more money than they want, and they fear
that the demand for 50 much may stand in
the way of their getting anything.
1t is said that Gen. Sewell is willing to
relinquish his United States Senatorial
| prospects to William Walter Phelps, if the
Congressional millionaire will pay him $40
600 or $4,000 campaign expenses he in

been all along ''Staff" Titles mouthpiece,
says that ''under the rules that govern po-

Thousands of copies of Brick Pome-
roy's Democrat" containing several at
tacks on Henry G. Kelsey, Secretary of
State, have been circulated Ia New Jersey
within the past two weeks. The attack on
MIR. Kelsey is evidently the cutgrowth of
his refusal to allow certain insurance COM
panies to do business in New Jersey con-
trary to the law. Mr. Kelsey has promptly
snied the illsustained charges made against
him.
Mr.. Wolverton prints letter to show
that Mr.. Willever's declination of the nom
ination for Assistant Sergeant-at- Arms was
not so much due to the staunchness of his
Democracy as to the fact that neither the
place nor the pay was big enough for him.
He ives after the Engrossing Clerkshp at

$500. Before declining he anxiously wrote
to Mr.. Wolverton to ask which place he
had got in the organization.
The "Snow Hill" Clubs Finance Com
mittee seems to have arranged in ssSecret
Session" with Haines, to sell the 100 votes
of the members to Haines for $50 cash and
$50 after election. Then the Democrats
seem to have quietly hired one of them to
put Democratic tickets into the kinds of
the ignorant colored voters, and SO it hap
pens that Turley got good many of the
Snow Hill votes that Haines supposed he
had bought.

go into caucus the next day, but he wasn't
there.
"A gentleman, sounding the praises of 1
Ex-Governor Albeit, the other day told this
